Veramonte’s vineyards in Colchagua Valley are located in Marchigue, a well-known area for the production of wine grapes, with an ideal warm climate and soils that are well-suited for growing red wines. Veramonte has 190 acres planted with red varieties including: Carmenère, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Characteristics of the Valley

Marchigue is located 28  miles from the Pacific Ocean and is marked by two mountain ranges that are extended from north to south of the valley which moderate temperatures allowing us to obtain fresh yet ripe characters in our grapes.

Unlike most of Chile’s top wine growing regions, Marchigue soils are not alluvial.  Its geological formation corresponds to glaciers and volcanic eruptions resulting in clay loam soils with some rocky materials. These soils allow us to produce structured, fruity wines with solid tannin structure. The natural conditions of the soils and climate create the conditions to produce intense and structured wines. Average temperatures in this area are slightly cooler than other areas of Colchagua, given its proximity to the coast, allowing red varieties to benefit from a slow, even maturation.
